Emerging data suggest that measurement of serum IgE to peanut components can be clinically helpful and more accurate than IgE to whole peanut to predict peanut allergy. Not all studies have used prospective samples, multiple components and oral challenges. Currently, there are no data on this topic involving Italian children. 32 patients (23 males; median age 9 years) with reported history for ...

In the last decade we witnessed an increased demand for employment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in practise. For instance, there is a growing need to provide surveillance tasks in a given area by a team of cooperating UAVs. In this case, the ability of a single UAV to plan its course of actions (e.g., trajectories that the UAV must fly through) is essential. Trajectory planning algorithm u...

This paper reviews production systems for preparing gilts that are negative for porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) to be introduced into infected herds. We discuss four strategies, including: 1) two-stage development—isolation and acclimation centers, 2) IsoweanTM introduction, 3) the transition center concept, and 4) the parity-one production herd. This paper does not ...

This paper tries, on one side, to raise awareness on the level of complexity of future computer-based interconnected systems/infrastructures, at least as they are envisioned, and, on the other side, on the level of dependability we are today able to justify with confidence. This paper does not provide solutions, but tries to motivate that fundamental methods and methodologies must be reconsider...

INTRODUCTION Occupational health and safety is related with economic activities undertaken in the country. As the economic activities grow and expand, occupational injuries and diseases are more likely to increase among workers in different sectors of economy such as agriculture, mining, transport, and manufacture. This may result in high occupational health and safety services demand, which mi...

Determinism precludes moral responsibility, some think, because causally determined agents cannot make a difference in the world. Let’s say that I raise my arm at a certain time. If determinism is true, there is nothing I could have done that would have resulted in a different state of affairs, that is, in my not raising my arm at that time. For my raising my arm was bound to happen, given the ...

In this paper, we present a comprehensive design methodology for constructing small-scale UAV helicopters. The systematic design procedure, which includes hardware component selection, design and integration, as well as experimental evaluation, is utilized to construct a fully functional UAV helicopter, named SheLion. Various ground and flight tests have been performed to verify the feasibility...
